| Soundstage and image height, does it exist? As many of you know the visual center of your brain uses a ton of "CPU cycles" to recreate what we perceive as our own reality. When you take that processing load off your brain as a matter of course it uses whatever input is left and draws on pa... | |
| Soundstage and image height, does it exist? In my 50+ years of playing this "game" I have found that there certainly is height information that is being processed by your brain, albeit a phantom, as is the center channel. Moreover, to my ears this is very recording dependent, acoustic guit... | |
| Best streamer for a returning audio guy @twodogs112 I'm not sure why you took @ghdprentice to task for his latest post. I do believe that you took it as a swipe at you and your equipment. I have read perhaps 1000 of his posts and I have never seen him look down on anyone or their ... | |
| Concerning high end audio names in new cars Back in the day we were very happy with an 8 track head unit and a pair of 6x9s mounted on the rear deck. Fond memories. @jbhiller One of my buddies brother is a sound engineer and works for a year on a design cycle for a vehicle sound system. So... | |
| Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding Jersey boy here and I think that Springsteen is a hack. Went to one concert of his back in the day and I will say they played their butts off. I'm a firm believer (right or wrong) that most people like the music they heard in their formative yea... | |

| How important is spending time with your gear? I very much enjoy looking at my gear while listening to music. The system is on its own (ground) floor so there is no issue with wires or WAF for that matter. It's my room and I do as I please in it. I keep it nice and tidy/clean. BTW my darlin... | |
| How Electricity Actually Works I would like to say a hearty thanks to all who participated. Pretty neat that it did not devolve into...well you know. Regards, barts | |
| Best audiophile earwax removal system? I have suffered for years with excessive ear wax! The best method I have found is a 50/50 mix of the hottest water you can stand, with 70% Hydrogen Peroxide. @boostedis The solution your suggesting ends up as a 35% solution of Hydrogen Peroxi... | |

| Better sound on rainy days? As reported by HAM radio operators...the distances their signals travel are much greater on cloudy days easily traveling to Europe and beyond due to being contained by the clouds. As to cars running better/stronger is because the moist air flash... | |
| How Electricity Actually Works @rodman99999 Thank you for posting the links. I have only one theory and that is: As a species we simply don't know a tenth of a percent about anything. We may know what works and what doesn't but that's about where it ends. I'm not attemp... | |
| Why Do You Post? I for one think this forum has plenty of value stored in our collective memory/experiences. And can only remember one time I had a minor "battle of wits" with MC, but I never throw the first punch. And so it goes. Just like I confine my readin... | |
| My endgame system I think @ronboco Beautiful execution and equipment. I have one question: Every surface in the room looks to absorptive, starting with OC "glass" and rock wool sound barrier does the room sound too dead? Or do the holes in the peg mitigate that aspect... | |
| How Electricity Actually Works @deludedaudiophile My take-away as far as audio goes is that proximity of cabling to each other matters. This is well known and I don't think it is even arguable at this stage of the game. Regards, barts |
